Authorities in Telangana have announced that a former army personnel will be questioned in connection with the recent armoury theft in Secunderabad.
The Telangana police have scheduled an interrogation of a former soldier suspected of involvement in the recent theft of weapons from an armoury in Secunderabad. Officials said the suspect will be brought before investigators later this week to clarify his role, if any, in the incident.
The armoury heist, reported earlier this month, involved the unauthorized removal of firearms and ammunition from a secured depot located on the outskirts of the city. While the exact number of items taken has not been disclosed, the breach raised concerns about security lapses at military‑linked facilities.
Investigators are reviewing CCTV footage, inventory logs and witness statements to piece together how the theft was carried out. The police have also indicated that the ex‑soldier’s background and possible connections to the depot will be examined as part of the broader probe.
